New Unisaw From Delta!!
If you're as excited as we are about the new unisaws from Delta (36-L336, 36-L352 and the 36-L552), then check out the video clip below. Delta teamed up with Scott Phillips to give us a great hands on demonstration of these revolutionary new saws!
Exclusive Inside Look at the New Delta Unisaw from Fine Woodworking

SURE-LOCK™ Dual Front Cranks: The most noticeable outward change to the UNISAW is the relocation of both the blade height and bevel cranks to the front of the saw. With both cranks on the front of the saw, you can now operate the blade height and bevel adjustments with ease. This new feature eliminates the need to reach underneath the side of the saw table for bevel adjustments. This is a standout enhancement compared with other competitive saws on the market today. Plus, twist the center of either crank to engage our SURE-LOCK™ cranks feature that eliminates errors typically caused when the cranks are hit or bumped out of alignment. This means easy, accurate, and repeatable results.

Tool-Free Split Guard Design: The UNISAW introduces a totally new design in guard systems. This system has a true rise-and-fall riving knife. It incorporates components that can be easily added or removed - depending on the application.
The riving knife can remain stationary within the locking plate at all times so it can be raised or lowered with a tool-free lever for through or non-through cuts. You can also add the anti-kickback pawls and guard to the riving knife without tools.
The split basket design allows the user to see directly where the blade contacts with the wood at all times, moving up and down independently and never interfering with materials passing through the blade. The entire guard assembly and anti-kickback pawls can be added or removed without tools or by hand–no need for nuts, bolts or wrenches making it easy to cut safely during all applications.
BI-LEVEL DUST EXTRACTION™: Dust collection on this new UNISAW is unlike any other available in the market.
This new design captures dust from beneath the blade and from the bottom of the cabinet at the same time with one dust port. Thanks to the new dust shroud directly below the blade and tightly sealed cabinet interior, the new UNISAW takes dust collection to a whole new level.
Single-Cast Trunnion System: The patent-pending design of the single-cast trunnion system is the heart of the saw, making many of the UNISAW’s revolutionary new features possible. Manufactured with robotic technology to exacting tolerances at the most advanced cast-iron manufacturer in North America, the one-piece casting delivers a new level of accuracy and effortless control. This means an enhanced vibration control, dual front cranks, continuous smooth operation, and dependable accuracy for the user.
Assembled and Machined in the USA: The new UNISAW is proudly made in the USA of foreign and domestic components in our Jackson, Tennessee facility. In this product, we use cast-iron milled and machined in the U.S.A. and include an American-made MARATHON® motor.
By making products here in the U.S. we can adhere to higher standards of quality and accuracy than our competitors – many of whom use low cost imports. It also means jobs for American workers.
User-Driven Improvements and Accessories: In addition to all these advancements, we also have incorporated many of the small details and new features that were mentioned during our extensive user research. The following are examples of innovative items that come standard with each saw or are available as separate accessories.
Redesigned, longer blade wrench to allow hand clearance from the blade. A 50-tooth premium industrial DELTA combination woodworking blade standard with every saw.
An additional easy-grip arbor nut provided for use with dado inserts. The zero clearance throat plate (Accessory Model 36-805) and dado throat plate (Accessory Model 36-808).

One of our customer service reps spoke to Delta and they said your order should ship out either today or tomorrow. You should receive it early next week, unfortunately that's as specific as Delta could be.By jimmy smithwick from windsor n.c. on February 14, 2012

The amperage is roughly 20, but you will need a 40 amp breaker due to its start-up.By Tom from Austin, MN on December 28, 2011
Does this saw include: Delta standard throat plate # 36-0944?
If not which?
What model Beismeyer fence is with the saw?
Does the Beismeyer table include the Beismeyer drawer?
I am close to placing an order and would like to verify the above within the Delta rebate time window.
Thanks in advance
Tom

Answer:
I called Delta's tech services line and they told meIt comes with the a00944
The 52" fence doesn't have a part number. It's generic, only fits this unisaw.
Yes, the drawer is included.
